Hi sheric, read from e mag that e test (group b ...) is not very accurate so some gynae didn't even bother to test, just like my gynae.. I din take this for my #1.



Leo_baby, actually if u intend to latch yr baby, u dun need any bottles at all. E baby don't need water till they start formula or semi-solids.. However, if u wish to express yr mik n use bottles as storage then u have to get more.. Last time, my#1 drink ebm at my in-laws when I go back work, she uses 3 125ml bottles. But need to sterilize the 3 bottles twice a day la... So it is really up to u on how many bottles u wanna buy. Btw I use avent via cup n milkbags for storage instead of milk bottles. Don't buy too many small milk bottles also... When yr bb grows older, u might need bigger bottles,eg 240ml type.. Hope this helps.

eeyore, your weight gain is quite good right? 6kg, plus another 4-5 kg in last tri, then really sui sui.

i already gained 12 kg so far. jialat. but then cannot be worst than 1st one. 1st one that time i already gain about 20kg around the same gestation. haha!



insurance:

medisave got include (the enhanced policy that we bought) but got $3K deductibles. it is for COMPLICATION nia. so not easy to claim. i had to claim hard when i had miscarriage last year, in the end ok. mine is a co-payment scheme. medisave + insurance, so i did not pay too much cash in the end.

but the duration of sign up must be more than 10 months prior to getting pregnant, so it is too late liao, we are delivering v soon .

 
someone asked about pampers and mamypoko right? and also nepia?



my experience.

nepia is good for newborn, because it is soft, and nice. but once bb hits around month 3 onwards, more urines and nepia might not b too good to hold urine. so day time use is no problem. night time, maybe not too ideal.



mamypoko is the best. use it at night time (after bb turns few months old). but it is v EXP.



pampers, they have many types. some types are not for night use, some of them are ok. pampers comfort, good for day use, cheap and ok.

pampers active, more exp, also good. slightly not so good as mamypoko, but not bad i find.



conclusion, if u stock up nepia, dun stock up too much.



some babies outgrow NEWBORN size in month 2, usually month 3 then outgrow liao. after that, S size also use for a few months only. stand by a pack of M, 2-3 packs of S, and also 1 pack of newborn (should be enough) . cause i use pampers oni in the night during 1st month. day time use cloth diapers.

 
still the same page, not archived yet... no wonder today expo is more crowded (though still not comparable to those IT shows).



Leo_baby> just saw your post on BHG. 30% really good leh... aiyah, i went back to Expo on Thurs night and bought the Pigeon twin pack detergent and the waist support (which is only 20% off). [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif]



Nature_lover> so did you get any good buy at Expo? I went there last night at 9pm, and still get the offer on Buds Mozzie Clear Lotion (2 for $15.50). the lady told me only have 50 sets on this offer leh. not sure if only for that day or not publicized...



Pekkle> not sure if you read the posting abt Nepia delivery. you still can call the hotline to order fr. them. 4 packets and free delivery. you can mix the size so probably 1 pack of NB, 2-3 of S. As shared by QQ, Nepia is very soft so good for NB, but i guess also due to the softness, the amt of urine it can hold is not as good as other brands when the baby grows bigger, so don't stock too much.

 
Sheric> noleh, i don't remember do that for last pregnancy. this pregnancy doctor didn't inform me abt the test yet woh. is it a must or good-to-have?



Leo_baby> you asked abt bottles? saw MVH's reply. last time i bought quite a few, tried out NUK & Pigeon, since i started full bf only after 3rd mth. so used the bottles either for my EBM (coz my #1 couldn't latch well and drink enough) or formula. but later my colleague recommended Dr. Brown bottles which helps really well in reducing stomach wind, all other bottles were put aside and wasted.

 
fumiko - yeah, I also wanted to sign up with the baby bellies for the post natal massage cos its cheaper than the other booth @ expo but end up, I didn't cos hubby was with me and I think he was too tired to wait.......



All - any one can advise if post natal massage is required for 3, 5 or 7 days? I seriously cannot rem how many days I did when I had #1.....



haitang - u went to expo fair again today? haha. I think u really went alot of times... I went today too and end up buying pigeon wipes and detergent even tho I wasn't sure if it was really all gd deals.

 
Haitang,

did u went this noon time, saw someone like u but dare not to confirm.



To all mtb, have u thot of how to bath your bb?

 
Ahnah, u got hire confinement lady or not? If yes, u can learnfrom her...Or u can learn from yr mum? I actually learn from my mum-in-law as I can't 'touch' water during e confinement month..

 
Ann, it is really up to u on how many sessions u want.. I had 4 massages consecutive days for my #1, coz I started massage 1 week after delivery which is considered late liao..

 
ahnah : did u went to childbirth education? when i had my #1, i went to the childbirth education @ mount a. so i roughly know how to bath newborn after give birth #1.



ann : i booked my massage lady last time after i deliver my #2 @ 7days $500. I had normal delivery so can start after 3 days like that.

 
ahnah : oh, but u still can go mount a to take the childbirth education even if ur wife deliver in other hospital.

and yes need bathtub.

need towel, handkechief, cotton wools, baby johnson head to toe soap.

anyway, since u got hire confinement lady, you can learn from her.



me last time no hire confinement lady or anyone to help me.

so i went to the childbirth education to learn how to feed bottle feed the baby in proper way without air going in, how to burp the baby in correct way and blah blah...

 
ahnah, you can try going for the TMC courses. They allow couples to sign up even though they dont deliver at TMC but i think price maybe is more than those delivering at TMC.

Babybee,

The warranty only 3 mths? then, i guess it wouldn't have much warranty left once bb is born?

Do they have any GSS discount for other stuff?

 
Hi everyone

sorry didn't post much yesterday.. work and out shopping at bb fair and cafe session till 2am



Haitang: I finally made the decision to buy peg perego pliko p3 classioo in red (but delivery only in July).. and bought the goo.n diapers for newborn up to 5kg, maternity bras, braun thermometer... spent at least 1k... how money flies.. =x gosh..

 
Bakaholic:

as far as what the salesgirl mention, the warranty for peg perego products will start from the day bb is born (u are to bring the birth cert to show the warranty period should you need repairs for the mechanism)

The one i bought has a warranty of a year.

 
ahnah : i din bought bathtub. mount a give FOC. you can buy 1 at kiddy palace.

 
mvh



thanks!



ladies



talking abt weight gain..hiaz..think i will go over 15kg this time..more than the first one sob sob....me paying installment for a course of health supplements from nuskin to slim down liao haha..so will do it after breast feeding...all my collegues in teh office 90% taking the supplements..so all slim down n the best thing is that only 3 mths n the weight will not go up again...so far all my collegues looks still as gd...hee so intend to try it out.



yea..the massage must do it 3 days after birth i think,the last time,i did it 2 weeks after..too late liao..cos i dont see the effect after massage too

 
Hi mummies, I have a brand new box (50 pcs) of Avent Disposable BreastPads for sale at $10 only, UP is $17. Collection at Yew Tee or Raffles Place/cityhall during lunch hrs.



pls pm if keen or sms 92375402

 
ahNah - Gleneagles may have free of charge Parentcraft classes (bathing baby and breastfeeding) every day so your wife can attend the class during her 2 day hospital there after delivery. You can call up the hospital to check if have. Mt E has such free classes so I would think Gleneagles should also have since both are just as expensive...



Thanks all for advice on post natal massages. I think I will sign up for 5 sessions.... More $$$$ to spend.... [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif]

 
Bakaholic,



Ya got it from first few years and was told that cause its promotional pricing thats why only 3 month warranty unless you pay for the orginal price then warranty will be a year if you spend more than $500 can opt for free delivery. From our view is that most product will only spoil after a year anyway therefore warranty not that important. We pay the stroller by citibank card so got a additional 20 voucher that we can shop in parargon. Their shop is currently having Gss for certain product but we did not really shop cause was targeting the stroller only [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] Went to expo and saw that spring maternity is having a 15% discount on Peg Pergo also if warrant is a concern you might want to get it there as i have check with them for them warranty is a year [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

 
Mummies who pregnant girl, if you haven't gotten any hands down clothings for your coming baby. I've 1 shopping bag of girl clothings can pass to you. My friends who had a twin girl, gave me quite alot of clothings. I don't need so many la and i dont have space to put also.

So anyone wants can come my place and collect it.

 
I think i got almost everything ready. Except handkerchiefs and bath towels. Any mummies went down to the guan yin temple and purchase aldy? Can share with me how much u all bought? Actual address is at where huh? Also the operating hours?



I'm still thinking to buy a chest of drawer or a small wardrobe to put #3 clothings. Can share what you all bought?

 
Mommyxuanx,



The address st si ma lu shop is block 269 #01-246. Its the building just opposite the temple right at a corner facing the small road. I went there to see its like a wholesale store but didnt buy anything there as my MIL is getting most of the baby item so cant comment much on the shop. Told my Mil about the place she went there to see and also commented that the clothes are cheap. You might want to go check out the place. Think their closing time is around 6pm during weekdays and saturday half day , sunday they are close.

 
ahNah, if delivering at Mt A, then dun need to buy bath tub as they will give u one free bath tub. i am getting mine from my fren. or buy one also can la, if u dun mind having 2 eventually.



i am not going down expo cause really no time and no energy, i salute all of u. still got energy to chiong.

 
hihi...

may i recommend safety first inflatable tub for showering ur baby... coz is inflatable, is sort of cushioned and can use till 2 years old.. at times my 26 months old daughter will use that to play water.



Oh, is very durable too! best buy for tubs i would say! good for travelling as well

 


at 31 weeks, my baby weighs 1.4kg and i have gained 6 kg till date. actually weight gain or not is not important, most important is bb growing well in tummy [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
